Conversion of Prograf to Advagraf in Pediatric Renal Transplant Recipients

May 24, 2015 updated by: Jongwon Ha, Seoul National University Hospital

Conversion of Twice-a-day Tacrolimus to Once-Daily Tacrolimus Extended-Release Formulation in Stable Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients

This study was designed to compare the pharmacokinetics of Prograf and Advagraf in stable pediatric kidney transplant recipients.

Enrolled patients on prograf will have pharmacokinetic study of tacrolimus for 24 hours and after that, the same dose of advagraf will be prescribed. The patients will have another pharmacokinetic study of tacrolimus after conversion to advagraf.
